{"product_id":"strawberry-fruit","title":"Strawberry Fruit Embroidery Design, Instant Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eA single bold strawberry fruit tilted slightly to the right, its leafy crown bursting up and out the top in heavy sketch-style black. Berry body itself sits in cherry red with dense black seed dots scattered all over the surface, deep dark red shadows pulled in along the bottom curves. The leaves are not green here, theyre rendered in dramatic monochrome black with pale grey cross-hatch shading, which lends the artwork that vintage botanical print feel. A long curling stem arcs up from the leafy top in fine black line, ending in a small curl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSix colours, five thread swaps each run. Honestly its one of the simpler colour totals in the shop given how dense the design looks visually. Stitch count opens at 19,617 across a 3.51-inch width and runs up to 52,166 across a 7.51-inch top end. Black does the seriously heavy lifting at 9,735 stitches in the tiniest hoop, building out the leaf cross-hatch, the seed dots and the stem outline. Red layers in at 2,261 stitches with dark red shadow at 1,664 underneath. Grey shading and white highlights round it out. my usual software digitising handles all that fine seed dot work, each tiny dot is a discrete shape not a stab of bobbin chaos.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI drew it last june for one customer who runs a tiny jam stall at her local sunday farmers market produce booth, she wanted something with attitude, not the usual cute pink cartoon berry. She put it on her chefs apron and her staff aprons too. People keep asking her about it apparently. Thats kinda the appeal here, its a strawberry but not a saccharine one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest fabric is cream linen, oat cotton, natural kitchen canvas or a soft white tea-towel weight. The black leaves dominate, so any darker fabric eats them entirely. Avoid black or charcoal base, all that careful leaf line work dissapears. Run a firm cutaway behind the design because the black satin sections pull hard. Trim long jump stitches between each black dot as they finish, otherwise youll get little black tails poking through the red fill.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Re Embroidery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45836294291606,"sku":null,"price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6262\/9270\/files\/Strawberry_Fruit_Machine_Embroidery_Design.png?v=1762930355","url":"https:\/\/reembroidery.com\/products\/strawberry-fruit","provider":"Re Embroidery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
